[Drbd-dev] [PATCH RESEND] drbd: avoid clang warning about pointless switch statement

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

The drbd code causes warnings that we cannot easily disable when building with clang:

In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_debugfs.c:10:
In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_int.h:48:
In file included from include/linux/drbd_genl_api.h:53:
In file included from include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h:237:
include/linux/drbd_genl.h:300:1: warning: no case matching constant switch condition '0'

There is nothing wrong with the code, and adding 'default:' labels
in the right place is enough to let clang shut up about the warning.

Fixes: ec2c35ac1ea2 ("drbd: prepare the transition from connector to genetlink")

This was recently resent by Philipp Klocke but the attribution on it
was incorrect (had Arnd's signoff but no From: line) and linux-block
wasn't cc'd, who presumably should take this patch since this file was
introduced by commit ec2c35ac1ea2 ("drbd: prepare the transition from
connector to genetlink"). If that is the case, perhaps these files
should be added to the drbd MAINTAINERS entry since they were introduced
by drbd and have been the only consumers since; I'd be happy to send a
patch if others agree.

It was acked by Lars on https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/756723/
so I don't know if this patch should carry

Acked-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg at linbit.com>

or not. I'll leave that up to the maintainer to decide.

Thanks!
Nathan
